Some garages are heated electrically, but most Twin Cities home garages are heated by natural gas furnaces, as these are more efficient. When purchasing a townhome with a garage heater, ask your inspector to determine if the furnace is sufficient. Generally speaking, a forced air gas heater needs to have about 45,000 BTU to heat a 2.5 car garage, and about 50,000 BTU for a three car garage. These heated garages are almost always insulated, and the doors are generally insulated as well. Keep in mind that garage furnaces can be a source of carbon monoxide. A CO detector is recommended. Also, furnaces should be tuned and tested once every season, especially if they are older. If you want to add a heater to a townhouse garage, keep in mind that this is not a DYI operation. About 430 people in the US die every year from CO poisoning, and another 50,000 end up in the emergency room from CO poisoning.
